A survey on “What to expect from Brazil?” published by Quaest, last Sunday (1), revealed that 41% of Brazilians would like to change country because of political polarization between supporters of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) and those of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL). The survey carried out until the end of June also highlighted “how polarization divides families, compromises companies and challenges the future of the country”.
The rate of Brazilians who would leave the country if they had the means went from 37%, in December last year, to 41% of Brazilians. And in December 2021 the rate was 29%.
“Polarization means more distance between voters of opposing candidates in terms of their values, ideas and views on politics. Calcification means less willingness to defect from your party, such as breaking up with your party president or even voting for the opposite party. There is, therefore, less chance of new and even dramatic events changing people’s choices at the polls”, states the survey released by CNN Brazil.
According to the survey, 54% of Brazilians broke off relationships because of politics, and of those who broke up, 75% said they did not feel bad about breaking off relationships.
The survey also revealed that 35% of Brazilians prefer to watch a TV channel that presents opinions with which they agree. And 32% would disapprove of their son marrying someone who voted differently.
Another change was in relation to changing children from a school, if the school had a majority of parents who supported the candidate opposing theirs in the elections, at least one in four Brazilians would change their child from that school.
Political polarization still continues in other activities. According to the survey, 23% said they would stop listening to music from an artist who supported their opponent, 19% would stop buying products from a brand that supported their opponent and 10% would change churches if the priest/pastor supported their opponent.
